Thad opened his mouth to argue, but the murderous look on Kaelen's face stopped him cold. Thad shot me one final, complicated glare before storming out of the room. He slammed the heavy door so hard the hinges groaned.

I stayed on the floor. I kept one hand pressed against my throbbing windpipe, terrified of what would happen next.

"Go back to your quarters," Kaelen commanded. He refused to look down at me. "Stay inside your room until you receive further instructions."

"Is the punishment still

    "You are actively asking me to keep treasonous secrets from the Luna of my pack.""I am asking you to critically consider whether there are dark secrets actually worth keeping. I am asking you to consider whether some secrets do significantly more harm than good." I paused, letting my words sink in. "Your own mother has kept massive secrets from you your entire life, Thad. She kept secrets that have violently shaped who you are, how you think, and how you feel. Do you not want to finally know what those secrets are?"Thad was dead silent for a very long, agonizing minute. Then, very slowly, he nodded his head."Show me the files."I opened the heavy mahogany chest again. I carefully spread the brittle documents out across the dusty stone floor. Thad knelt down right beside me. His handsome face was incredibly pale in the flickering lantern light as we slowly read through the damning evidence together.With every single page we turned, I watched his expression violently change. I saw r

    Thad stared down at me for a very long minute. I could physically see the violent war raging behind his silver eyes. His desperate desire to believe my lie was actively fighting against eighteen years of deep suspicion and chemically conditioned distrust."You are lying to my face," he stated finally. "I can smell the lie on you. I can hear your heartbeat spiking. I can see the way you are standing right now, defensive and ready to run. You have found something important.""Even if I had found something, why would that possibly matter to you?" I challenged him directly. "You have never once cared about what I found or did not find in this house. Why start caring now?""Because this situation is completely different." Thad's voice sounded strange. It was stripped of its usual Alpha aggression. It sounded almost vulnerable. "That chest... it was here before the terrible accident. It was here before everything went completely wrong in my head. I have a fragmented memory of it being moved

    My mother. Her name was typed on this execution list. She had been intentionally murdered. She had been "eliminated" because she had seen the terrifying truth. She was killed because she had desperately tried to protect her only daughter. She had been perceived as a massive threat to whatever dark conspiracy had totally consumed this pack's leadership.The desperate letter from Helena Vane suddenly made terrifying, absolute sense. The physical evidence she had gathered, the massive conspiracy she had discovered, it was not just about breaking the triplets. It was about controlling everyone. It was about murdering my parents. It was about enslaving me.I was still staring blankly at the execution list when I heard the heavy footsteps.They were loud. Purposeful. And they were coming closer.I violently shoved the loose papers back inside the mahogany chest. I slammed the heavy lid shut and spun around to face the only entrance. My heart was pounding so hard I could hear the blood rushi

    The girl who saved them in the woods must be protected.My throat tightened painfully. The exact words from Kaelen's shocking confession in my bedroom echoed loudly in my mind: I keep dreaming about a feral little girl who saved our lives in the woods when we were young. A girl with striking silver eyes and an unbreakable heart.I knew exactly what that letter meant. I had always known the truth.But actually reading it here, in a physical letter written by someone who had lived through those horrific events, someone who had understood the terrifying truth when no one else did...It made the nightmare real in a way that nothing else ever had.I carefully set the letter aside on the dusty floor and reached into the bundle for another document. This one was a clinical medical record, dated exactly eighteen years ago. The official hospital header read: "Treatment Record - Alpha Heirs, Triplet Males, Ages 3."The clinical details written below made my blood run freezing cold."Patients A,

    It was deliberately tucked away behind a towering stack of rotting wardrobes. It was nearly invisible in the heavy shadows. The wood was dark, ancient mahogany. It was intricately carved with terrifying symbols I did not instantly recognize. I saw snarling wolves, bleeding moons, and interlocking geometric circles that seemed to physically shift and move in the flickering, unstable light of my battery lantern. A heavy, modern iron padlock held the ancient lid securely closed. When I tested my ring of keys, the smallest brass one slid in and turned perfectly.My heart hammered violently against my ribs as I turned the key. Whatever was locked inside this specific chest had been intentionally hidden. It had been heavily protected. It had been left here, waiting to be found by someone specific.The iron lock clicked open with a sharp snap. I slowly lifted the heavy mahogany lid.Inside, carefully wrapped in thick layers of waterproof oilcloth that had somehow survived the damp conditions

    "I am quite sure you will." Mrs. Holloway's sharp voice softened almost imperceptibly. "Just... please be careful in that wing, Cassia. Some of those ancient boxes are incredibly heavy. And some of the specific things locked in that storeroom have been waiting a very long time to be found."Before I could ask her to clarify that cryptic warning, she turned on her heel and marched away. She left me standing completely alone in the freezing corridor with a ring of ancient keys and a rapidly growing sense of dread in my stomach.The forgotten east wing was exactly as I remembered it from my brief childhood explorations. It was a dead place filled with dust covered furniture, faded velvet tapestries, and dark secrets hidden in the heavy shadows. The stone corridors here were claustrophobically narrow. The lighting was terrible, and the freezing air was thick with the musty, suffocating smell of a century of total neglect. I walked very carefully. My quiet footsteps echoed loudly on the wo
